Stopping by the old couple's hut, Baba entered it. The two were overcome with emotion and garlanded him. Gadekar sang the arti, and after embracing them Baba left.
Another time, a man who had been waiting to see Baba for over five years went to the place where darshan was being held. But he was informed that Meher Baba had just departed. Although old, he began running after Baba's car. He ran an incredible twelve miles, and finally, through his deep and unwavering faith, caught up with the group. Baba had had the car stopped and was sitting under a tree. The old man, panting heavily, approached and with difficulty uttered: "Meher Baba is omniscient! Meher Baba is omniscient!" Baba held him in a hearty and loving embrace. His long wait was over; he was in the All-knowing One's arms.
While Baba was giving mass darshan in Dhanauri, a blind boy groped his way through the crowd and came to the dais. Guiding him, some people took him by the arm and brought him before Baba, who handed him prasad. When darshan was over, Baba headed toward the village of Banda. On the way, he stopped the car, got out and sat down under a tree.
He gathered the mandali around him and remarked, "Today, God saved me! A very bad thing almost happened. When the blind boy came to me, seeing his helplessness — he was so handsome, energetic and bright! — I had a whim to give him sight. In fact, this whim should not have been there. But God saved me from giving the beautiful boy his eyesight, which would not have been good for him."
At this, Eruch burst out laughing. On Baba's inquiring, he replied, "Seeing the lad, I thought of Jesus who performed so many miracles — making a corpse come alive, restoring sight to the blind, healing the lepers, making the crippled walk. And here is our Baba who has no mercy on this boy!"
Baba replied, "It was good I was saved through God's grace; otherwise, it would have harmed the boy, not helped him."
Baba continued, "When I was Krishna, I revealed my Universal aspect to Arjuna. This was a mistake. I should not have done it, because love and faith alone should compel one to obey the Master's behests. Arjuna did not do this, so to create trust in him, I, as Krishna, had to reveal something to him."
